Support WordPress Rest API

[bhubbard]

I would love to see support for the rest api, here is a quick working code example:

/**
 * Sweep Rest Routes initialization class.
 */
class Sweep_Rest_Api {

    /**
     * Create the rest API routes.
     *
     * @access public
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct() {

        add_action( 'rest_api_init', function(){
            register_rest_route( 'sweep/v1', 'sweep', array(
                'methods'  => array( 'get', 'delete' ),
                'callback' => array( $this, 'sweep' ),
                'permission_callback' => array( $this, 'permission_check' ),
                'args'     => array(
                    'name' => array(
                        'required'    => true,
                        'default'     => '', 
                        'description' => 'What would you like to sweep?',
                        'type'        => 'string',
                    ),
                ),
            ));
        });

    }

    /**
     * get_stream function.
     * 
     * @access public
     * @return void
     */
    public function sweep( WP_REST_Request $request ) {

        $name = $request['name'];

        $sweep = new WPSweep();

        $results = $sweep->sweep( $name );

        return rest_ensure_response( $results );

    }

    /**
     * Check whether the function is allowed to be run.
     *
     * Must have either capabilities to enact action, or a valid nonce.
     *
     * @param  [type] $data [description]
     * @return [type]       [description]
     */
    public function permission_check( $data ) {
        if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
            return new WP_Error( 'forbidden', 'You are not allowed to do that.', array( 'status' => 403 ) );
        }
        return true;
    }

}   
new Sweep_Rest_Api();

Not sure why we need an API for a sweep. If you need to cron it, you can use WP CLI with it.

Having said that, if there are enough people request for it, I can consider =)

Having a rest endpoint is a great way to sweep multiple installs at once, especially when they are on different servers so you can't use WP-CLI.
